Abstract
GUAMAN, Carlos; DE LA FUENTE, Estefanía; GIANONI, Keril and DE SOSA, David. The best of the 2020 Uruguayan Congress of Cardiology. Rev.Urug.Cardiol. [online]. 2021, vol.36, n.3, e403. Epub Dec 01, 2021. ISSN 0797-0048. https://doi.org/10.29277/cardio.36.3.9.
The 37th Uruguayan Congress of Cardiology was held in virtual mode, from May 26 to 28. It had national and international guests, allowing the development of an update space in different areas of cardiology. As in previous years, a space was set aside to present the scientific activity carried out by national researchers through the presentation of free topics. Various free topics of 2020 were reviewed and approved by the scientific committee, whose presentation was deferred due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Below we comment on some of the papers presented at the congress, as follows:
Primary implantation of a definitive cardiac pacemaker in the pediatric population and evolution: 15 years of experience in a pediatric cardiology referral center in Uruguay.
Quality of oral anticoagulation with warfarin in a cardiology polyclinic, one-year follow-up.
Prognostic value of mild/moderate anemia and/or preoperative iron deficiency in the postoperative period of cardiac surgery.
Prognostic impact of stress echocardiography with negative physical exercise in a chest pain unit. 2019-2020 period with one-year follow-up.
